Want to leave your condolences?

My condolences for the Miles family and friends. Through the last 7 years in Ravenna where I was able to help this family with anything they needed, and it was sheer joy. It didn't matter whether it was empathy, compassion or help with their banking, it was my pleasure. Through the love of their mother Mary, and their father, John, their children will carry on their legacy. Great parenting brings forth great children. It was an honor to know Mary and an honor to continue with her children.
